It would be nice for somebody like me.  I have not installed Fedora, because
of all of the problems I am seeing on this list.  Someday I will bite the
bullet and install Fedora, and it would be *very* nice if I could go to one
place (an official FAQ) and be able to easily see all of the hoops that I am
going to have to jump through in order to make Fedora work.  My machine has
an NVIDIA card, so I'll have to mess with that.  I will want yum/apt to
work, and my God but there are a lot of posts about how that damn thing
doesn't work but 2 days in a row, and not at all after a clean install
without manually editing some conf file and adding/changing repositories or
something.  Etcetera.

I don't think that it's so much an issue os Fedora having to support them,
as it is a sharing of knowledge by other Fedora users who have figured out
how to make the most popular video chipset in the world work with the OS.
